1665 double red
Hello,
I have been looking for a double red 1665 for a long time. in my home country, this Sea-Dweller was offered today. The condition is visibly a bit battered, but the dial looks intact. Before I talk to the seller tomorrow, I wanted to ask for your opinion. If everything here is original, it would be a good basis for work. Thank you very much in advance. Alex |

For a watch like this you really need high resolution macros. Having said that, the is dial is no good, neither is the insert or case back.

Thank you very much. I have just compared the dial with pictures of authentic 1665. I don't like what I see either.

No, I don't think there's any reason to bother with this watch any further.
But it is always interesting to see what kind of things are offered. Thank you for your support. |

100% fake - btw the colour and look of the hour markers are the classic incorrect look found on many fake 1680/1665 reds and d/reds.

Yes, I have already run :)
I posted the pictures before I compared them properly myself. It is a private seller from Germany. With ads like this, I always wonder if the seller doesn't know what he's selling or if it's knowingly fraud. |

That's hard a hard life, deliberately or otherwise.
If you do find a red, it's a nice dial feature. |
